I was just curious. When a team tavels to another city, let say red sox travel to NY Yankess who pays the red sox travel expensises. And do the Red sox get any part of the ticket sales from the games played, also doese the home team make hotel booking for the road team.

All teams are on their own for travel expenses. At one point, some teams used to fly commercial to save some bucks while others would charter airplanes. Now everyone charters, more or less. Teams pick their own hotels; usually two or three are the most popular. An exception in another sport would be for the Islanders; there's a Marriott right next to the arena that everyone uses.
At one point, the American League and National League had different formulas for splitting gate receipts. One league had a cut go to the visiting team by percentage, while the other had xx cents a ticket. I read where it's a flat 15 percent to the visiting team. Football is something like 60-40 (not including suites, etc.), while basketball and hockey are 100-0.

The gate receipts are split 50/50 between each team. The road team pays its own traveling expenses and books their own rooms. The road teams traveling secretary performs this function.

Depending on what team you buy the tickets from (redsox website or Yankees website) that team will make money from it. The teams are paid for to travel by the franchise. Not sure about who makes the hotel bookings.

The visiting team on the road pays all their own expense, Thats why they stay in different hotels
